Majority selection and block-based selection diversity reception methods for 8k DVB-T in a mobile environment

Some comparative results on simple diversity combining schemes are presented. These combining schemes are intended to be used with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems in mobile channels, i.e., multipath channels with time selective fading. The methods are typically simple to implement in the existing Digital Video Broadcasting — Terrestrial (DVB-T) receivers. Both analytical and numerical results of the performance of these methods are given.
